HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
One way to generate ideas is to write steadily for at least five minutes, exploring some of the possible ways of solving the problem. Consider using the following approaches as a jumping-off point:
Adapt a solution that has been tried or proposed for a similar problem.
EXAMPLE
Smith’s proposal for a national student exchange program is based on the successful international program.
Focus on eliminating a cause or minimizing an effect of the problem.
EXAMPLE
O’Malley’s solution to stressful high-stakes exams is to eliminate the cause of the stress by inducing instructors to give more frequent low-stakes exams.
